The  City  of  Seattle 

WASHINGTON 

DEPARTMENT  OF  POLICE 

May  I,  1944 

To  the  Mayor  and  City  Council, 
City  of  Seattle,  Washington. 

Honorable  Members: 

In  compliance  with  Section  5,  Article  VII  of  the  City  Charter,  I  herewith  submit  sta- 
tistical report  of  the  business  transacted  by  the  Seattle  Police  Department  for  the  year 
ending  December  31,  1943. 

During  the  year  of  1943  many  improvements  in  our  department  have  been  made,  and 
our  activities  and  facilities  expanded  in  order  to  meet  new  police  problems  constantly 
arising  due  to  existing  wartime  conditions  and  the  growth  of  the  city  and  community  in  pop- 
ulation and  industrial  activity.  The  census  shows  an  increase  in  the  population  of  Seattle 
of  1  1  1,698  or  30  per  cent  over  the  year  1940.  Such  increase  in  population  adds  to  the 
duties  of  the  law  enforcement  agency  and  creates  additional  traffic  problems,  social  prob- 
lems due  to  housing  conditions,  and  problems  in  connection  with  juvenile  delinquency  and 
crime  prevention. 

In  order  to  meet  these  increasing  problems,  we  have  followed  a  policy  of  strict  law- 
enforcement,  the  enlargement  of  our  juvenile  division  and  extension  of  crime-prevention 
activities  in  the  various  divisions  of  the  department.  From  the  statistics  shown  in  the  report, 
you  will  note  that  the  general  situation  from  the  standpoint  of  law-enforcement  and  control 
of  criminal  activities  has  been  adequately  dealt  with,  even  though  the  department  has  been 
handicapped  in  the  way  of  manpower  shortage. 

In  my  report  of  last  year,  the  problem  of  providing  proper  facilities  for  the  handling 
of  City  Jail  prisoners  was  called  to  your  attention.  At  this  time,  I  am  pleased  to  report  that 
the  enlargement  of  the  King  County  Jail  quarters  for  the  handling  of  men  and  women  prison- 
ers has  been  completed,  and  the  overcrowded  conditions  existing  in  the  City  Jail  one  year 
ago  have  been  relieved.  We  will  now  be  able  to  transfer  our  long-term  prisoners  to  the  new 
wing  of  the  County  Jail. 

During  the  year  1 943  the  rapid  treatment  center  advocated  by  this  department,  was 
established  for  the  care  and  rehabilitation  of  women  prisoners  affected  with  veneral  disease. 
This  center  has  been  in  operation  for  some  time  now  and  the  results  being  accomplished  are 
proving  very  satisfactory  and  are  even  better  than  anticipated.  This  has  been  an  import- 
ant step  in  the  right  direction  in  the  solution  of  the  venereal  disease  problem  in  this  com- 
munity and  as  a  result,  the  venereal  disease  rate  has  declined.  The  constant  vigilance  of  this 
department  will  be  continued  in  our  efforts  to  control  the  venereal  disease  problem.

SEATTLE  POLICE  DEPARTMENT  ANNUAL  REPORT,  1943 


The  Kreml  plan  of  traffic  control  is  now  being  put  into  effect  as  rapidly  as  manpower 
facilities  will  permit,  and  as  building  alterations  and  improvements  are  installed.  In  order 
to  provide  additional  space  in  the  Public  Safety  Building,  we  have  obtained  a  new  police 
garage  at  Fifth  Avenue  and  Cherry  Street,  which  has  been  completed  and  is  now  ready  for 
occupancy.  The  police  assembly  room  will  be  transferred  to  the  quarters  formerly  occu- 
pied by  the  police  garage,  and  this  will  provide  additional  space  on  the  main  floor  of  the 
Public  Safety  Building  for  the  enlarged  Traffic  Division  and  also  space  for  the  centralization 
of  our  record  system.     These  improvements  are  being  installed  as  rapidly  as  possible. 

We  have  received  the  splendid  cooperation  and  assistance  throughout  the  year  of  the 
Mayor  and  Cit}r  Council  and  of  the  Police  Advisory  Commission  in  the  improvements  made 
in  the  operating  facilities  of  this  department,  and  the  modernization  program  of  the  de- 
partment in  methods  of  law  enforcement.  I  wish  to  extend  my  appreciation  to  the  City 
Council  for  their  support  in  the  appropriation  of  funds  which  have  made  these  improve- 
ments possible. 

In  the  furtherance  of  our  plan  for  better  police  administration,  I  would  like  to  make 
at  this  time  the  following  recommendations.  In  order  to  provide  facilities  for  the  rehabili- 
tation of  men  prisoners  who  are  repeaters  and  chronic  alcoholics  now  confined  in  the  City 
Jail  and  boarded  in  the  County  Jail,  a  permanent  work  camp  should  be  established  in  con- 
junction with  King  County,  where  prisoners  from  both  the  Police  Department  and  the  Sher- 
iff s  office  may  be  sent  and  a  work  plan  for  such  prisoners  carried  out  This  department  at 
the  present  time  is  establishing  an  athletic  recreation  center  south  of  the  city,  and  a  small 
number  of  City  Jail  prisoners  are  being  used  each  day  there  at  outdoor  work  in  the  im- 
provement of  these  grounds.  From  this  experiment,  we  are  obtaining  valuable  informa- 
tion as  to  what  can  be  accomplished  through  the  employment  of  prisoners  in  work  of 
this  kind,  and  it  is  our  intention  to  develop  a  small  work  camp  at  this  location  for  the  em- 
ployment of  some  City  Jail  prisoners.  It  has  long  been  recognized  by  law-enforcement 
agencies  that  prisoners  should  not  be  confined  in  small  quarters  in  idleness  but  should  be  pro- 
vided with  healthful  work  as  an  aid  in  the  rehabilitation  program  for  such  prisoners. 

I  wish  to  extend  my  appreciation  to  the  members  of  this  department  for  their  loyal 
support  and  faithful  duty  throughout  the  year  in  the  handling  of  all  problems  necessitating 
police  service.     Full  cooperation  has  been  received  from  all  law-enforcement  agencies  in 

this  community  throughout  the  year. 

Respectfully  submitted, 


H.  D.  KIMSEY,  Chief  of  Police.
